Compton Abbas Airfield Flying Experiences
Located at the top of a hill, deep in the heart of the Dorset countryside, in the Cranborne Chase Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Compton Abbas Airfieldis situated near the village of the same name, and lies about 40 minutes west of Salisbury, 15 minutes north of Blandford Forum, and just over 10 minutes south from the market town of Shaftesbury, best known for the ancient cobbles of Gold Hill, made famous in the Hovis TV adverts in the 1970s. It was in the hands of the Hughes family for 35 years, up until February 2023, when it was bought by the acclaimed British film director, Guy Ritchie, who owns the neighbouring Ashcombe Estate.
Vintage Flying Experiences
For those looking for Vintage Flying Experiences in the South West of England, Compton Abbas Airfield offers plenty to enjoy. Of particular interest will be the flights in an iconic Boeing Stearman biplane, that was in frequent use as a military training biplane by the US Navy, Canadian Air Force and US Air Force during WWII.
Flying sessions for the former are available to book in blocks of 15, 30 or 60 minutes starting from just £159, whilst the latter is available to book for sessions of 15, 30, 45 or 60 minutes, starting from as little as £199.
The light aircraft community at Compton Abbas is thriving and vibrant, and there's also a well-loved, family friendly restaurant and bar on-site offering breakfast / brunch, lunch and dinner, which also serves locally brewed Gritchie beer. All in all, Compton Abbas Airfield should provide a truly exciting day up in the air on a flying experience!
Biplane Flights
Alternatively Compton has plenty of Biplane flights on offer! Jet over the amazing South West Coast in a vintage biplane and get a real glimpse of the countryside from the skies. You'll be joined by an expert pilot who will demonstrate just how the planes fly, and if your lucky he may also show you some more daring manoeuvres the plane is capable of.
Flying Lessons in the South West
If your in the South West and looking for a hands on Flying Experience look no further, Bodmin Airfield has some amazing flying lessons to offer. Led by Expert instructors, these lessons make a fantastic gift for any budding pilot or aviation enthusiast. And even better, Flying Lesson time can actually count towards a Private Pilots Licence (PPL).
And if your more interested in rotary aircraft, why not head to Bournemouth Airport for an incredible Helicopter Flying Lesson led by a wonderful flying school.
Microlighting Experiences
Microlighting is a wonderfully unique way to take to the skies, these Light Sport Aircraft allow passengers for an open or closed cockpit flight where you'll be greeted by 360 views of the South West Countryside and Coast. And there is no better place to take off from then Brown Shutters Airfield, a sight offering plenty of Microlight and Gliding Experiences led by passionate microlighters.
Terms and Conditions for Compton Abbas Airfield
Once you order a voucher, it will be dispatched by one of our agency partners by e-voucher or by post, depending on which you choose when you checkout.
Vouchers are valid until the expiry date shown on your Voucher (typically 10-12 months).
In most cases, once you activate your voucher you will be sent the instructions to redeem the voucher directly with the airfield or operator. Because flying experiences (other than simulators) can only take place in suitable/ safe weather conditions, you must be prepared to be flexible on your activity date. If the agent or operator cancels your experience date, they will inform you as soon as possible and do their very best to offer an alternative date or location. Once a specific date has been booked, you will automatically become bound by the terms and conditions that the individual operator may have. This does not affect your statutory rights.
Whilst every effort is made to ensure the descriptions contained on our products are a true reflection of the experience, these do not form part of a contract. If on contacting the operator you feel that the activity taking place no longer accurately represents the activity purchased, the relevant agent will exchange the voucher or refund the purchase price.
